Rock Valley, Iowa — A Rock Valley man will spend the next five years in federal prison, after pleading guilty to his involvement in a methamphetamine conspiracy.
The US Attorney’s Office in Sioux City tells us that 59-year-old Terrance Buescher of Rock Valley was sentenced on Friday to five years in federal prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.
They tell us Buescher pleaded guilty on March 15, 2024, in federal court in Sioux City, to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. The US Attorney’s office says evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings showed that from April 2022 through January 2023, Buescher was involved in a conspiracy that distributed at least 20 pounds of methamphetamine in the Rock Valley, area. Buescher admitted to obtaining pounds of methamphetamine about every ten days from a source in Colorado to distribute in Northern Iowa, during 2022 and 2023.
Buescher was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison and he must serve a three-year term of supervised release following the imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. Buescher remains in the custody of the United States Marshal until he can be transported to a federal prison.
